Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873–1943)
Author of Vespers
About the Author
Russian-born Sergey Rachmaninoff's early career was as a pianist, but Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky recognized his importance as a conductor and encouraged him to continue composing. At the age of 19, Rachmaninoff wrote Prelude in C-Sharp Minor, which became one of his most celebrated pieces throughout show more the world. By the age of 24, Rachmaninoff had composed the opera Aleko. His piano concertos are regarded by many as models of the late-romantic formulation of that genre. His music was eclectic in style, and his belief that music existed to reveal beauty left him opposed to Russian nationalist composers. In 1909 he first traveled to the United States. He became an exile as a result of the Russian Revolution and lived in Switzerland and the United States. (Bowker Author Biography) show less

Rachmaninoff: Piano concerto no. 2 in c minor. Willan: Concerto in c minor for piano and orchestra. Rachmaninoff: Vocalise, Op. 34, No. 14. [Sound recoding: CD] by Sergei Rachmaninoff
The world hardly needed another recording of the Rachmaninoff Second, not even if the composer himself had arrived on a space-ship from another dimension. Even so, Ozolins's perforamnce is more than serviceable. Still, the real interest of this disc is the Concerto by Healey Willan, who reasonably familiar to older Canadians and to the broad international community of musically-literate Anglicans, for his conservative but lovely devotional music. Willan is the fellow who described himself as show more Irish by extraction, English by birth, Canadian by adoption, and Scotch by absorbtion. Meanwhile, the Concerto sounds roughly the way a piano concerto by Elgar would have sounded had he writen one. show less
Symphony No1; Capriccio on Gypsy Themes Op12/Nat. Symphony Orchestra of Ireland. Alexander Anissimov by Sergei Rachmaninov
One of the best recordings of this symphony (see Gramophone Magazine October 2006).
The first performance of this work was a failure, conducted by the drunken Glazunov. The symphony was poorly performed, and the critics condemned it. (Ironically, this was the work that, following Rachmaninoff's death, was acclaimed by many musicologists as his greatest contribution to symphonic literature as well as his most original composition.) During this period, also brooding over an unhappy love affair, show more he was taken to a psychiatrist, Nikolay Dahl, who is often credited with having restored the young composer's self-confidence, thus enabling him to write the Second Piano Concerto (which is dedicated to Dahl).
Some critics today feel the symphony is one of Rachmaninoff's best works; it is full of youthful enthusiasm, soaring melodies, shows the beginning of his obsession with Russian Orthodox chants, the motivic use of bells, and a very Wagneresque orchestration including a heavy brass section, a gong, and a tambourine. show less

I sang this work a few years ago with the Oakland Symphony Chorus. It is a beautiful piece of music, and I'm glad for the chance to perform it in Russian. We sang it in a Greek Orthodox church, and it was lovely.
